As
the movie world revisits popular franchises such as Star Trek or
horror movies, Disney have also decide to reboot one of their movies
with Race to Witch Mountain and definitely goes beyond the
original film.
Starring the entertaining and
powerful Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, once a former wrestling star,
he is
actually quite suited to Hollywood and makes the perfect lead role
for this science fiction movie.
The story of Race to Witch
Mountain revolves around this man helping two alien children from
another planet. Unfortunately the military are also after these
children, including an alien hunter from another planet which makes
this the perfect science fiction formula for children of all ages.
Best of all, the
movie doesn't really take itself too seriously and really has a go
on the whole "alien" phenomenon and conspiracies plus a healthy dose of humour from
Johnson and some great performances by the all involved. Of course,
the movie features some super stellar special effects that only makes the
entire experience more entertaining and engaging.
Apart from the thoroughly enjoyable story, Race to Witch Mountain
looks quite stunning Blu-ray and could almost be considered a
reference disc when it comes to quality. Matched
with equally impressive sound, the 5.1 sounds brilliant through our
LG speakers and in order to truly enjoy the film, it needs to be
heard loud.
Add in a DVD version of the movie and some great special
features from deleted scenes, featurettes and a Blooper Reel to name
a few and this nicely rounds out a well made and enjoyable film for
the entire family!
